These two teams can make a game of it with practically all the other teams we've seen so far.

And when it did, a split second after that final correct, answer, well...<br /><br />Lincoln were incredibly unlucky on that one; they looked certain to avenge that crushing defeat to Manchester in the 2008-09 semis. But, as we've seen, a big lead doesn't necessarily mean the match is yours. Surely, though, as you and Paxo say, they have done enough to make the repechage.<br /><br />The stats: Michael Hopkins' five starters were Lincoln's best tally; the side answered 16/30 bonuses with one penalty. Adam Barr and Richard Gilbert got four each for the Mancunians, who made 18/30 bonuses with two penalties.<br /><br />This is probably my favorite match of the series so far; the rest have all been steady, but not spectacular.<br /><br />I hope this is the start of a good period of University Challenge; we shall see next week, with Imperial College London, and Jesus College Cambridge.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
